Notes

Gr8 Make Ahead Tips:
  • Sliders: The uncooked patties can be prepared ahead of time. In a glass or ceramic bowl keep the patties covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Lemon Yogurt Sauce: The sauce can be prepared ahead of time. Keep sauce covered and refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Gr8 Notes:
Non-reactive bowls are used for foods high in acidic nature (citrus, tomato, etc). Glass or ceramic bowls are the best choice. They are considered non-reactive because they won't react chemically with the food placed in it.
